Lost John

Well the ugliest man I ever seen was long lost John from Bowling Green
No hat on his head no shoes on his feet, begging the women for his bread and meat
Chorus
He's long gone , That's what I mean
He's long long gone from Bowling Green

Well I had an old dog his name was Will
He ran lost John to the top of the hill
Last time old lost John was seen
He was running like a rabbit outta Bowling Green

Chorus

Lost John standing alone in the rain
Around the corner came a passenger train
John took a grip , couldn't get aboard
Left him a standing on the old rail road

Chorus
Bridge
He's long gone from old Kentucky
Long gone, got away lucky
He's long gone , that's what I mean
Long gone from Bowling Green
